I really consider myself as an adventurous person and willing to try anything in this world. Being a chef makes me more adventurous more than ever to try new recipes all around the world. Last week, I visited a chef friend who is now residing in Benguet province. He was a good friend and my close classmate during my culinary studies.
Chef Sandy is a proud owner of a famous restaurant in the locality and is known for their unusual cooking. At first, I was very curious what my friend is busy cooking in the province. Here in the Philippines, there are many different provinces and this also vary in their culture. Some may consider it strange but others find it just normal, especially when you are living in the Benguet province.
As I hop off my van, I immediately called my friend, who is preparing something for me. Finally, chef Sandy greeted my and hugged me. Two chefs happy to see each other for a very long time. Chef Sandy told me that I am into a surprise to see what she has prepared for me. They call it horse tapa....or horse meat. My friend caught me by surprise to see dish that is new to me and a strange one too. Horses are wide used as farm animals animals and use for racing. But cooking horse meat is something outrageous for me to cook.
